Industrial Attachment

Went back to school today for a super meanlessing and boring industrial attachment briefing. I guess the school should have just name it a talk. Cos it just give us irrevelant information about the whole IA programme. Though the talk is boring, meeting up with some of my classmates are really great. I really never see them for quite some time le and we won't be seeing each other again for another half a year. I'll miss all of you.

It's good to go around asking each other what company we are in and how much we are paid. Being the few with no information on my pay and stuff, I can see which company is willing to pay more and which company is the stingy company that pays little. So far the highest I have heard is 700 bucks and lowest is 540 bucks. Out of such a wide range, why must I be the bunch that go 540 bucks too. Super sad. I want to have a high pay, plus it's super far away from my house. I want to complain and have a pay raise. I have to wake up at 5 am everyday even on saturday cos I have to work 5 and a half days. So if there's anoyone out there who needs a morning call, u can tell me. Haa...

Maybe I should not complain so much. There's only 8 environmental companies in the list and there are 80 students fighting for it. I'm definitely one of the luckily few that got into an evironmental company. At least it's related to what I'm studying in school now, water treatment. There are tonnes of my friends being dumped into soil and concrete companies. If I have a choice, I think I'll still want to stay in a water company with lesser pay and have to wake up earlier. Talking about pay, I just happen to find out that the environmental company seems to pay less than the soil company. WHY? Because of our high demand, so there're trying to make us cheap labours? The school seriously should do something about it. It won't affect me in any way but more environmental companies should be found and open to environmental students only. If civil people already got some many choices to choose from, then why are they competing with us? IF environmental students are going to work in civil companies, then why bother to split us up into civil and environmental?

Enough of all my complainings, feeling really sick this week. I need to rest well this week and hopefully I'll recover before my attachment start. Don't want to be sick on the 1st day of work, if not the company people cannot heard my sweet and beautiful voice. (Haa.. People, pls dont throw up).
